Music and Art

Bring out the creative side of your children with our art and music tools and activities! More...

Your younger children will enjoy creating sounds and mark-making at the click of a mouse or the touch of a screen. Even the youngest of children can produce exciting results!

Older children will hear how musical instruments sound and learn about musical notation. They can create more detailed artwork and more complex sound compositions.

Ages 3 to 5

Busy Things encourages young children to create art and music through experimentation. Choose from a large array of unusual tools and allow a picture or sound composition to evolve in front of you. No experience is necessary - just click or touch and watch or hear what happens! More...

You can join in and take turns with your children to create compositions of colours, shapes or sounds.

Create art - make the shapes grow!
